Trout Macadamia

Ingredients

• 4 trout, cleaned and gutted
  
• About 1/4 cup plain flour
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  
• 60g butter
  
• 2 tablespoons oil
  
• 150g unroasted macadamia pieces
  
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
  
• Juice of 2 lemons
  

Method

Dredge the trout in the flour seasoned with the salt and pepper, shake off any excess flour. Heat the butter and oil together in a frying pan and cook the trout for about 7 minutes, turning once or twice.

Remove to a warm platter and add the nuts to the pan. Cook until lightly toasted. Add the parsley and lemon juice, and cook a minute more, slightly reducing the liquid to a glaze.

Pour on top of the fish and serve immediately.

Note: If using roasted macadamia nuts, add the nuts to the pan immediately before pouring on top of the fish.
